Andrew Schulz was once seen as a friendly face to Trump. Now, he’s furious.
The popular comedian and podcast host turned on President Donald Trump during Thursday’s episode of Flagrant, saying the president has broken almost every promise since returning to the White House.
“He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for,” Schulz said. “I want him to stop the wars. He’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget. He’s increasing it.”
Schulz, who has nearly 2 million YouTube subscribers, had Trump on his podcast last year during the election campaign. That episode went viral when Trump told him he was “basically a truthful person” — and Schulz burst out laughing.
But this time, there was no laughing.

Schulz said he now feels like nothing Trump promised is being done.
“There’ll be people that they’ll DM me and be like, ‘You see what your boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this.’”
He didn’t hold back. Sitting with his co-hosts Akaash Singh, Mark Gagnon, and producer Alexx Media, Schulz called out what he sees as a complete betrayal of voters who wanted something different.
In an interview with the New York Times last month, Schulz explained why he supported Trump at first. He said it wasn’t just about Trump—it was a vote against the Democratic establishment.
He said the Democrats were “stripping the democratic process from its constituents.”
Going into his Trump interview, Schulz had three things he wanted to push: protecting access to IVF, showing “empathy” for undocumented immigrants, and ending foreign wars.
But now, he says Trump has failed on all fronts.
His co-host Akaash Singh also called out Trump’s immigration policy, questioning if anything is being done.
“I don’t even know if the criminals are getting sent back,” Singh said. “I know there’s a lot of people with green cards getting sent back. There’s people who aren’t criminals getting sent back.”
The conversation took a sharper turn when Epstein’s name came up.
Schulz was visibly upset that Trump never followed through on his promise to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted child sex abuser with ties to powerful elites.
“It’s insulting our intelligence. Like, obviously, the intelligence community is trying to cover it up. Obviously, the Trump administration is trying to cover up,” Schulz said. “Something changed because they ran on this idea of exposing it all.”
Some now say Trump’s appearance on Flagrant helped him reach young male voters during the campaign. The vibe was loose, funny, and relatable. But after winning, Schulz says Trump is doing the opposite of what he said.
“I voted for none of this,” he repeated.
Recently, Flagrant has hosted more left-leaning guests, including Sen. Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg warned listeners not to fall for Trump’s promises.
“To me, like most of the stuff he said he was going to do, he didn’t actually do,” Buttigieg said. “He didn’t do the big infrastructure bill he talked about. [The Biden administration] actually did it. He didn’t even build the wall.”
For Andrew Schulz, the joke is over. The promises are broken. And the message is loud: “This is not what I voted for.”
